1. Actos linked to Bladder Cancer
The Strom Law Firm is now accepting product liability cases concerning the diabetes
drug Actos and its link to bladder cancer.
Bladder cancer is a grueling and excruciating journey. It is estimated that for nearly 25% of
the people diagnosed with bladder cancer will ultimately die from the disease.
Recent studies have found that Actos can increase the risk of a patient taking the drug for
more than a year developing bladder cancer by approximately 40%. Despite these risks,
Actos still remains on the market in theUnited States. It has been pulled in
both France andGermany as a result of those same concerns.
ACTOS is a prescription medication used with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar
control for type 2 diabetics. ACTOS is not for patients with type 1 “juvenile” diabetes or those
who suffer from diabetic ketoacidosis.
ACTOS works on two of the common problems that lead to high blood sugar:
1. It helps your body better use the insulin it makes
2. It also stops your liver from making more sugar when it doesn’t need to
By taking care of these issues, the sugar in ones blood can get to where it needs to go so it
doesn’t continue to build up in the bloodstream.
However there are numerous side effects associated with the use ofActos. You should seek
medical attention if you suffer from one of those side effects:
 irregular breathing, troubled breathing, or shortness of breath
 wheezing
 chest tightness or pain
 extreme fatigue
 irregular heartbeat
 dilated neck veins
 swelling of face, fingers, feet, or lower legs
 problems with teeth
 decreased urine output
 weight gain

2. The FDA is still evaluating the data on Actos in order to determine if further regulatory
action is needed.
Have you been injured by Actos?
If you or a loved one has suffered a severe injury because of an Actos side effect, you could be
able to seek compensation for your losses and suffering.
Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America Inc., the maker of Actos, released a statement saying
it remains positive about the drug.
We are “confident in the therapeutic benefits of Actos and its importance as a treatment for
type 2 diabetes. The company remains committed to Actos and Actos-containing
medications, and to the millions of people living with the disease.”
